hi! what is the difference between wine and a virtualisation like virtualbox? what are advantages and disadvantages compared to each other? peter

> Wine's goal is to be compatible with Windows software including copy protection. For what I understand, although it may not be an easy job to do, Wine developers are planning to fully support copy protection at some point. They're not saying "it's never going to happen", it's just a matter of work.

I appologize for not posting that I gave this approach up already. The issue was that I wanted to run virtual pc because I knew it would handle .vhd files. I'm testing out virtualbox at the moment. I need everthing to run from a flash drive on a bare metal machine for emergency disaster recovery situations. I was merely exploring all avenues that I found and wine was one of those avenues.

Any Virtualbox on CentOS guru's out there? I only have 1 VM on my linux host. in the update process to virtualbox 6.1.16 my config was lost. When I run Virtualbox my VM does not show. So I desire to add it back. My structure is this. ls -l /home/silentm/vmware/CentOS\ 64-bit\ LSI/ -rw------- 1 silentm silentm 8684 Aug 13 08:31 CentOS 64-bit LSI.nvram -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 0 Feb 27

After some thought, it makes sense to use VirtualBox for teaching, since many people will probably start testing Linux using VirtualBox on Windows or macOS. Too

Dear All, I am trying to create socket clusters (using snow and snowfall) with a Windows OS. I am running Windows inside VirtualBox and VMware player (i.e., Windows is guest) from a Debian Linux host system (I've tried in two different Linux systems, an AMD x86-64 workstation and an Intel i686 laptop). However, almost always seting up the cluster fails: either R will hang forever or I will

are there programs similar to Virtual PC that wine can run?

Hi, I'm running CentOS 7 with Xfce on my main workstation. I just installed VirtualBox, and the application is running nicely. The only problem is that VirtualBox fonts are too tiny. How can I make the application behave and use the system-wide font settings ? Cheers, Niki -- Microlinux - Solutions informatiques durables 7, place de l'?glise - 30730 Montpezat Site :

Hi, I'm currently working on my next Linux book, which will be an elementary course about CentOS administration. I'm using VirtualBox for all the installer screenshots. Since CentOS has recently been upgraded to version 7.6, I thought I might as well base all book references on this version. So I downloaded the 7.6 1810 minimal ISO and started a fresh installation in VirtualBox. I'm

Hi, attached is an updated [1] patch for virt-v2v to support converting VirtualBox guests with VirtualBox Guest Additions [2] installed. With the patch applied a VirtualBox RHEL 6 guest with Guest Additions can be converted with the steps documented in the manual page. I've tested this patch on a RHEL 6.2 host running VirtualBox 4.1.8 using a RHEL 6.2 guest, the guest works as expected

Hi, at [Tails] we're in the process of shipping hybrid ISO images by default again. We're using `isohybrid -h 255 -s 63' to do that (thanks to the advice we got on this mailing-list a few months ago!). And then, we've discovered that sometimes, isohybrid produces ISO images whose size is not a multiple of 2048 bytes. Who cares? ... may you ask. Well, apparently, VirtualBox does:

Hello everybody, at my company we have the need to run a specific window application within a sandbox on windows itself. Anything (including the application) that is not data produced by the application itself has to be on a read-only filesystem. We decided we'll use wine for the task, within a virtualbox environment that will act as a sandbox. There are a few questions that I'd like to
